In a fin-stabilized projectile (I) of a weapon, used to engage a tank (2) from above, the target end phase of the flight is initiated by a force on the nose of the missile body, in particular on the control unit that is located therein. Because of the fact that the control unit (4) is rotating because of a target-detection sensor, during this rotary movement the projectile oscillates because of the gyroscopic effect and thus there are target deviations at different combat ranges. In order to avoid the yaw angle and lateral deflections of the projectile that occur in the rotational-descent phase, within the projectile (I) between the control unit (4) and a warhead (3) there are means that impose a moment of momentum to the warhead (3) that corresponds but is opposite to the moment of momentum of the control unit (4). These means are so configured that they are simultaneously suitable as a driving system to generate the rotation of the control unit (4). According to a possible embodiment, gases from a pyrotechnic drive system, emerging tangentially from the nozzles on the warhead (3), cause a turbine wheel that encloses the control unit (4) and is connected thereto to rotate in the opposite direction. The present invention also discloses the use of a mechanical drive means, such as, for example, the use of a coil spring or a threaded section in order to achieve an identical effect.
